Captivating

Captivating Chapter One
September 23, 2008

WOW! Understood. It drudges up. After reading just some of the first chapter I have to stop. It's so overwhelmingly true! I have to take a break, plus my husband wants to watch a movie, haha. Thank goodness... and outlet.

I feel so strange. She mentions how the church is one of the problems in keeping woman from understanding themselves and being ashamed for the parts of us that are so obviously... woman. At first I was mad at the church! Then I was stressed about all the woman who make it seem ok to feel inferior and to strive to be whatever everybody else wants. Then I was mad at myself! They don't know better, I told myself. The I thought Im such a basketcase... THEN... I read Unseen, Unsought, Uncertian! We all do this? I mean I was just being the 3 U's she was just talking about! Woman are so different from men, so complex. People always tell me we are all the same. We are NOT! And thank the Lord for that... but... What does it mean to be a woman?

Im so confused!
